[*]Labor Day Weekend - 1st Monday of September

This is the largest gaming convention here in Southern California, with lots of Board Games, RPGs, Miniatures and Collectibles and card games.

This Presidents day event the convention is hosting:

Pre-registration for all conventions begins at least one month prior to the events, with a discount for early online registration.
Event registration generally begins one month prior to the actual event.

The event is held at a hotel with discounts being given at the hotel for convention attendees.

The convention is always looking for Game Masters, and if you run at least 8 hours of events with full participants, then your convention attendance can be reimbursed.

I look forward to seeing everyone there
